Watched snippets of the match. You can tell that Forti has been ranked quite a bit higher - he served really well on a fast indoor court and Harry never quite managed to be able to put pressure on him. He played well apart from one slightly loose game in the first set and then Forti produced the slightly braver tennis when it counted in the second set breaker.
Harry's an excellent volleyer and I feel sometimes, especially indoors, that he just needs to get forward a bit more, try to take the ball earlier and get to the net. I know that's not his game, he prefers to grind it out from 3 feet behind the baseline and he's an excellent mover - all skills which have contributed to a fantastic rankings surge in the last 6 months - but maybe that's what he needs to push to the next level.
